Civil

About the Department

Civil engineers design, build, and maintain the foundation for our modern society – our roads and bridges, drinking water and energy systems, sea ports and airports, and the infrastructure for a cleaner environment, to name just a few.

Civil engineering touches us throughout our day.

Think of a civil engineer when you:

Turn on your tap to take a shower or drink clean water

Flick on your lights and open your refrigerator

Drive to work on roads and bridges through synchronized traffic lights
